   How d'y people! I am glad that you looked in my section 
titled Rants' Raves (Render as dubbed him Crazy Softvor:). So 
today, in a render (R'R [End p er]% -)) a couple of interesting 
things that need you like ... 


   The first thing I want to tell you - Fun with the 7-th number
ZX-Format'a, which was discovered by me in the process of 
removing protection with the latter. The fact that I just 
wanted to break the protection SParker'a, which I consider one 
of the coolest. Just want to say that exposed the Format is not 
for the sake of svobodnokopiruemogo instance (as we ourselves 
have a legal copy of ZF # 7 (thanks 2 Maxx)), for the sake of 
self-interest and because himself engaged in writing and fully 
support the protection vysskazyvanie "TO CRACK IS NOT TO DESIGN 
... "Def I'm still broke (my joy was limit. If you only knew 
how long I stayed, tortured by guesses about how it all works, 
and in fact nuzhnoto was to change all the two bytes !!!), and 
that's what I learned ... 

   Loader magazine consistently loads all the pages except
(WARNING!) 7 th (for reference - packed loaded sprites
introshnoy animation), but in the process of unpacking on 
dekranching calls and 7-I absolutely empty, page! ... If you 
have not realized that this could mean, explain: during 
dekranchinga switches to a 7-page, and I do CALL # c000. Here 
XLDesign made insulting blunder, because before you download ZF 
# 7, you can calmly get on the 7 th page STS (important - do 
not go into it! Why - guess yourself.), And what will happen 
with CALL # c000 on the 7 th page, all might have already 
guessed ... As the saying goes, Cracks-Packs, and before you 
loader seventh Fomat'a - do with it what you want. This 
phenomenon was verified on the original issue, and as you can 
see, now ZF # 7 can reveal even lamer. To some this may sound 
funny, but the authors magazine probably will not be happy, but 
we should wish the very respected by me (yes across Speccy 
scene) group XL-Design to be slightly in closer. I'll look 
forward to new number of my favorite magazine - ZX-Format - a 
new protection SParker'a. If the same number to reach the Buzz 
XL-Design, I would like to ask SParker'a, as a man clearly well 
versed in this area, write to the ZF something about defense. 
And, of course, XLD ask for forgiveness, if they consider my 
article harming their work. Good luck guys' sorry! I understand 
- to produce the best in Russia (and only) magazine - rabotenka 
not easy, and no incidents can not do. 


   Now, something less interesting, but more ridiculous - 
english to russian language translator on PC;)


   Of course, indecent and wrong to laugh at stupid and 
miserable, but the pc it deserves. 

   Everything started with the fact that Spy had procured the 
text on MS-Dos, with the necessary information about the system 
(to create ruleznogo copyist (see news)). He (the text) was in 
English; hope for the pc was hopeless, but try to translate the 
text Russian language by this "naimoschneyshey" cars all the 
same cost, in order to facilitate your life and not sit for 
hours with the dictionary. Now I can only thank Spy'ya for what 
he so random, tossed me a funny little idea for R'R. TNX! 

   What's all the same thing? Now you know it.

   Above-mentioned text contained the information about the 
format MSDos. And the text was the following abbreviation - 
FAT, which stands for File Allocation Table (Allocation Table 
file). Did not guess that made pc'shnaya translation software 
with this miserable text?? Then read on. As everything a little 
bit know English, must be known the meaning of FAT, yes, it is 
translated into Russian, as fat ("The Fat Of The Land" 
RULEZ!!!;)) Knows about etom and pc, but it (pc) processor does 
not even have an "idea"% -} that the FAT can be abbreviated. 
For the computer it is certainly difficult, but then whether to 
call pc cool car? Decide for yourself, but at first stick to 
the end. 

   Here's a suggestion from pisishnogo text in the original, ie 
English: "On IBM compatible media, the first eight bits of the 
first reserved FAT entry contain a copy of the media descriptor 
byte ...". But the proposal is translated program for pc: 
"Compatibility with IBM means the first 8 bits of the first 
reserved FAT entry contains a copy of the descriptor byte. .. 
"." FAT entry "- that it is generally :)))) Just imagine in 
what became the text, if the word "FAT" there is quite a lot 
... ; 8) Represent! All the text, literally, "plastered" FAT!

FAT sector, a copy of the FAT, BOLD entrance, etc. It also 
occurs and easy porn, 8} such as: "The remainder of the fatty 
inputs ...", As it sounds in English, guess yourself.


   These are the things here. pc once again proved its 
"superiority" over other platforms. And the slogan "pc rulez!" 
sounds very, very convincingly;) Can we all go and hang himself,

because we are - unhappy owners speccy 'amiga - have no such
wonderful opportunity to use the BOLD entries - it is
available only elected %-(((


   Well, pokedova. "You Neskuchnii night ..." (Ooops): 8)))
